So, Mac Boy, how do you rate this Mac?
As a G5 Mac you'll need a compelling reason to buy instead of an Intel Mac. Limited to running 10.5.8 as a maximum this Mac is no speed demon by modern standards. The display is a good size and great quality but the later models have an iSight camera for effectively no extra money so I'd spend your money there. Prone to random motherboard and RAM failures due to the heat generated by the G5 processor.
